Unfortunately #tonyblair was quite happy to see that attrition continue - as were 'ultras' such as #alanmilburn . The people round #gordonbrown were rather more sceptical so the attrition stopped - and was even reversed albeit partially - for a while from 2007 onwards. Unfortunately the business of advocating further degrading of state capacity can be pretty lucrative - especially if the beneficiaries of outsourcing think individuals or organisations can influence #labour !
